Standard sign stands are generally known in the art. Some sign stands include features such as folding legs for enhanced stability and storage properties, while others include various mounts for flexible or rigid signs. However, conventional mounting and clamping systems found on existing sign stands do not adequately address potential sign mount, sign and mounting bracket instability relative to a base or a mast. Such conventional mounting and clamping systems result in component stress or sign stand failure when conventional sign mounts, which are disposed in contact with particular mast sections and/or include a particular number or arrangement of contact features, are faced with an impact, adverse weather conditions or repeated component manipulations. The accessories or integrated features available on these and other known sign stands do not safely and purposefully address these issues. The present disclosure seeks to overcome some limitations and other drawbacks of the prior art, and to provide new features not heretofore available. A full discussion of the features and advantages of the present disclosure is deferred to the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
